Chapter 106 Parade to the public
There are many rebels near Jinling. They can raise anger and resist the Qing Dynasty, but they may not necessarily recognize the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Hou Xuanyan chose to let the civil and military officials and local tyrants and gentry go out of the city together, giving enough face to Qinglongshan people. In this way, it was also to make a gesture and let these anti-Qing rebels know the benefits of surrendering to themselves. With Zhou Wenwu and his Qinglongshan as an example, Hou Xuanyan believed that most rebels would choose the right path and surrender to themselves.
Hou Xuanyan's combat power is not in his heart, nor does he expect them to fight the Northern Expedition, but if he lets him go, he will be instable factors in his jurisdiction. With Wu Zhikui from Suzhou as an example, Hou Xuanyan does not want to repeat the same mistakes.
The Jinling City Gate was right in front of you, everyone in Qinglong Mountain was nervous, and Zhou Wenwu was even more excited.
Unfortunately, what we greeted them was not the imagined flowers, surrounded by them.
The officials guarding the city gate all pointed at each other when they saw them. The clothes of these people were so "frugal", just like the beggars' siege.
Changzhou General Li Haoxian, relying on his beloved general of Hou Xuan, burst out laughing, pointed at the Qinglongshan people in front of him, and said to his colleagues: "It's so inconspicuous. It can be said that he is poor if he wears a little torn. Look at those who are just not wearing any clothes."
Everyone burst into laughter, and everyone in Qinglong Mountain heard it from afar, feeling uncomfortable. When they walked to the city gate, Zhou Wenwu, who was leading the horse, had a red and black face. If it weren't for the face of Hou Xuanyan, he would have turned around and left long ago.
Hou Xuanyan scolded: "Shut up. These people have lived such a difficult life and are not surrendering. What's so embarrassing? Especially you, Li Haoxian, if you can't control your own stinky mouth, can I sew it for you?"
Lee Haoxian said angrily: "That's a big deal. It's better to keep it if I can eat and blow my mouth."
Hou Xuanyan stepped forward and patted Zhou Wenwu on the shoulder, saying, "These soldiers and gangsters are unrestrained, but they have absolutely no malice. Don't care."
Zhou Wenwu bowed and said ashamed: "What is Xiao Hou saying? I am too scrupulous, haha. These thirteen people are the Tartars we captured in the mountains, and they are specially dedicated to Xiao Hou."
Suddenly, one of the gentry in Jinling had a surprised face and said loudly: "Isn't that Yu's relative?... Isn't that dog thief Duoduo?"
Duoduo entered the city twice, and there were many people present to greet him. Although Duoduo didn't know them, they all remembered Duoduo's appearance. However, few people can connect with the arrogant Prince Yu now, who has been stripped away.
It was not until the man exclaimed that everyone looked at him carefully. Wu Jikun said, "Absolutely, this is Duoduo."
Now it was Hou Xuanyan's turn to be stunned. They could not believe that Duoduo, who escaped from his hands, would be caught by a group of beggar bandits.
Hou Xuanyan was shocked, and his tone was quick, and he grabbed Hong Yizhuo and asked, "Yizhuo?"
Hong Yizhuo looked at it for a while and hesitated: "Brother, they ran too fast at that time, and I didn't see Duoduo clearly. However, looking at their figures, they looked eighty-point similar."
Hou Xuanyan was ecstatic. The executioner with blood on his hands, the culprit of Yangzhou for ten days, was actually in the hands of Qinglong Mountain. This is really good, and it is unhappy to retribution.
Everyone in Qinglong Mountain was originally angry, but they heard that the Tartars they had caught by accident were actually Duoduo. They all held their heads up and felt supreme glory.
Only Duoduo understood the language of the Han people. He glared at the side without saying a word.
Hou Xuanyan held Zhou Wenwu's hand and said, "Now, you can make great contributions!"
Zhou Wenwu nodded Mumu. Before he could wake up from the sudden change, this "President" turned out to be a prince? Or the biggest official in the south.
Hou Xuanyan narrowed his eyes, smiled sinisterly, and said to Duoduo: "Jinling has been built for thousands of years. I don't know how many Tartars have seen. None of them can be as open as Prince Yu, and he entered Jinling naked, and admired me."
Duoduo was so ashamed and angry that he could not refute it, so he had to pretend not to understand and ignore it with his neck.
Everyone under Jinling City laughed together, and the city was filled with joyful air.
Hou Xuanyan's eyes rolled and ordered: "Go to the city to get a few prison vans, load them into the vans and parade them on the streets, and inform the people of the city to go out to watch." Then he turned around and said to his subordinates: "Let's give Prince Yu this face, wait here for a while."
Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to learn about the anti-Qing army around Zhou Wenwu. After learning that he was familiar with several leaders who raised the army, Hou Xuanyan instructed him to send someone to surrender and let them surrender. Zhou Wenwu patted his chest and agreed.
Duoduo entered Jinling twice and slaughtered Yangzhou. Who doesn't know his name? Now I heard that he was going to parade in the streets and show his presence, and it was really empty. When the prison cart entered the city, Hou Xuanyan rode on his horse and walked in front with Zhou Wenwu and others. The cheers of the people were like tsunamis. This was a reassurance for the people of Jinling, and the effect played was even greater than that of Hou Xuanyan's capture of Jinling.
Duoduo's face looked like paper and his heart was ashamed. Since Nurhaci successfully launched a war, the surname Aisin Gioro has not made such a fool, and he is the most embarrassing today.
Chen Risheng, a minion in Qinglong Mountain, relied on his loud voice and whispered to the surroundings: "This is Prince Yu, the dog Tartars. He was captured by our Qinglong Mountain in one fell swoop. If the villagers have revenge, they will take revenge. If they don't have revenge, come and take the blame."
When the people were reminded by him, they immediately stamped their feet and said, "I would have known to bring some vegetable leaves."
"What kind of vegetable leaves are needed? I'm going to say it's better to throw stones."
"Everyone spits and spits on his face."
When Chen Risheng heard this, he fled in panic with his eggs in his arms, and he would be affected by the fish in the pond if he was one step late.
Zhou Wenwu looked at the excited expressions of the people in the city, and was secretly shocked. He was a person who could not hide his words. He asked halfway through, "I didn't expect Duoduo to parade in the streets to encourage people's morale so much. Lord Xiao Hou, did you think that this situation would happen outside the city?"
Hou Xuanyan touched his nose, curled the corners of his mouth, and smiled badly: "I said no, do you believe it?"
"I admire you wisely."
"Look at whether I have said it, you don't believe it, and you still have to ask." Hou Xuanyan held a horse whip in one hand and smiled: "Now when it comes to me, Hou Xuanyan, I think I am a cunning and treacherous person. In fact, I am really just a scholar in Jiading City, honest and kind."
